Benefits of technology

[0014]An object of the invention is to provide a white heat-curable silicone / epoxy hybrid resin composition for optoelectronic devices, which is successful in improving the strength of silicone resins by virtue of a silicone resin / epoxy resin hybrid material and which cures into a uniform product maintaining heat resistance and light resistance and experiencing least yellowing over a long period of time. Another object of the invention is to provide a method for preparing the composition, a LED-receiving premolded package comprising the composition in the cured state, and an LED device.
[0039]The white heat-curable silicone / epoxy hybrid resin composition of the invention is effectively curable and cures into a uniform product having improved strength while maintaining heat resistance and light resistance and experiencing least yellowing over a long period of time. Then premolded packages obtained by molding and curing the composition are very useful in the industry in accommodating high-intensity LEDs and solar cells. The composition is also useful as an underfill material for LED parts.

Problems solved by technology

However, these encapsulants and substrates are substantially degraded during long-term service and susceptible to visible color shading, separation and a lowering of mechanical strength.
None of these patents succeed in solving the problem of yellowing during long-term service at high temperature.
Since this organopolysiloxane must be transparent and liquid at room temperature, the composition does not lend itself to transfer molding and compression molding.

synthesis example 1

[0102]A 1-L flask was charged with 100 parts of methyltrichlorosilane and 200 parts of toluene. Under ice cooling, a mixture of 8 parts of water and 60 parts of isopropyl alcohol was added dropwise over 5 to 20 hours while maintaining an internal temperature between −5° C. and 0° C. The reaction mixture was then heated and stirred at the reflux temperature for 20 minutes. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, after which 12 parts of water was added dropwise below 30° C. over 30 minutes, followed by 20 minutes of stirring. Further 25 parts of water was added dropwise, after which the mixture was stirred at 40-45° C. for 60 minutes. Thereafter, 200 parts of water was added whereupon the organic layer was separated. The organic layer was washed until neutral. This was followed by azeotropic dehydration, filtration and vacuum stripping, yielding 36.0 parts of a heat-curable silicone resin (A-1) having the following formula (5) as a colorless transparent solid (m.p. 76° C....
